Chapter 15: Answers
When we woke up it was still 6 in the morning, I didn't have to pick up Meyson until noon.
I went into his kitchen wearing his shirt still. I smelled it when I bent down to get eggs.
"Extra strong coffee" he said handing me a cup.
"You know me so well" I said kissing him.
I made french toast and he made bacon. The only thing missing with this picture was Meyson.
"We just need Meyson here and we'd be the perfect family" I said. He smiled.
"Not here...I want somewhere better and bigger for her"
I hugged him around his neck. "We don't need big exxtravagant things...we just need you"
We kissed a little and I went back to the french toast. I know I need answers...but I think I don't want to change this...
"I know you want answers..." he said while we were eating. I looked down instead of his eyes. My heart got really heavy when he said that and I grew a lump in my throat.
"When you give them to me...no matter what it is, I want the truth, and nothing will change us" I said.
"Spencer...I have to tell you something that will change everything...but for the better."
"What?"
"It's something that all of you guys have to be together for..."
"What is it?" I said. I was a little scared. We've been happy without A this year...
"It'll explain everything that was happening"
"Start with you joining the A team..." I said.
"I did it to keep you and the other's safe. If I wasn't on it, then you all would have been dead by now. I got on the team with Mona, and I...i faked everything. Everything with us though...Spencer that was real."
"You were with them that night..."
"Yea...then I saw Emily get the text that you were in labor and I almost blew my cover"
"You did"
"Yea I know"
"Why did it take so long for the One day?"
"I didn't know that Mona did that...until...i looked in on you and you were crying and told the girls I was dead. I went to Mona, and she explained that I had to pretty much dissapear...since you knew me and knew I was on the team you had to think I was dead"
"So...who was A?"
"None of us know...A is always there...always watching...but then one day A said to stop. That was when I found red coat...and who she is...and then I had to work with her. That is why we had to wait for this. It wasn't safe for any of us to be around...but now...it's all clear and done with."
"Who is red coat?"
"She wants you all together first...she want's to see you all and confront you all at once"
"Is it Cee Cee?"
"No, please don't even try to guess Spencer...please."
"Where's Mona?"
"Like I said it wasn't safe for any of us to be around...so she went some where to be gone"
I couldn't believe this was happening...but we were going to find out who red coat is..then I remembered something...
"Toby...you have to see Emily first..." I said.
Emily was his best friend...and she was also really worried about him.
"I will..."
"Also...we need to talk to my parents before we go get Meyson..."
"Why?"
"Because...they think you just skipped out...we can tell them that you didn't know until now and now we're back together, Toby we have to build our lives back up"
He looked at me intensely.
"Spencer...your dad hates me"
"He's lightened up a little since Meyson was born. But they're going to be a little on the defense because it's Meyson we're talking about. All of us are very protective over her"
"Will this make you happy?"
"More than happy"
After we got dressed and everything we got into his car and drove to my house.
"Hey mom hey dad..." I said.
"Hey honey. How was prom?"
"Amazing...um...someone surprised me..." I said. They looked confused.
"Toby's back..." I said. My dad dropped his fork and my mom put down her paper.
"For how long?" He asked sarcastically.
"For as long as Spencer wants me" He came up behind me. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him walk in.
"So you think you can just come back into their lives?" my mom said.
"If I would have known about Meyson I would have been back sooner" he lied.
"You didn't know? Meaning your parents or sister didn't tell you!"
"Why did you leave her in the first place?" my mom asked.
"Well, Mr Hastings had repeatedly said that Spencer could do better, so I wanted her to have better...but then I had gotten word about Meyson...so I came back. Look I understand she can do better than me, and I haven't been a father...but I love Spencer, and Meyson is my daughter so I love her too. You can believe that I will never leave them again" he said. I smiled and blinked back a few tears.
"It's ultimately up to Spencer...but if you hurt her or Meyson...i will murder you and make sure I still look innocent" my dad threatened.
"I respect that Mr Hastings"
"So what is your guys' plans now?" my mom asked.
"I would like to get back to work...and then find us a nice apartment or town house."
My parents looked at each other.
"Until then...you're welcomed to stay in the barn with her." My dad said. I smiled.
"Really!?" I said.
"Yes, it'll be easier for you to get your school work done, and it gives Toby time to bond with her" my mom said.
I looked over at Toby and he was smiling.
"It'll be just until I have enough saved" he said.
My dad nodded and shook his hand. That showed respect, and acceptance from my dad.
"Now Spencer, go get my granddaughter, I miss her" My mom said picking up her paper again.
We walked out of the house and back to Toby's truck.
"So when are you moving in?" I asked smiling.
